Subject kind of says it all...
I was reading manpages and I don't think there's a way, so I thought I'd
ask.
I've been merging/unmerging packages for testing and some have to be
started via a daemon, so I've had to add them to /etc/runlevels/* via
rc-update.
The problem is I was removing packages without doing `rc-update del
<service> <runlevel>`, leaving them added in the runlevel with no valid
script/symlink.
Now, I could just do `ls -al /etc/runlevels/*` and search manually for
broken symlinks and then manually remove them.
It seems that `rc-update -a` parses /etc/init.d/* and looks for matching
symlinks in /etc/runlevels, but not the other way around.
It looks like rc-update has a "-a" parameter that deals with broken
symlinks but it still requires a service name which is not listed any
more in /etc/init.d.
I did test this, `rc-update -v show` did not show NetworkManager (which
I'd removed. Manual inspection of /etc/runlevels showed a broken link. I
then ran `rc-update del NetworkManager default`, which worked even
though it isn't listed in the rc-update output.
Or am I overthinking things? Or maybe I'm just getting too tired to
think about this. :o)
